Lots of good stuff in this, including a useful note to artists wondering if they should get into bed with crypto platforms. (Essentially, who is covering the costs? Because if it's you, then it's a vanity gallery...) medium.com/@mikeyd/nfts-aren…
Had a great time chatting to 60-odd very nice students from @PERFORMERS_COLL today. We talked about making your student loan last and also the 5th Marquess Of Anglesey's golden underwear (relevant, I promise). Impressive bunch! youtube.com/watch?v=loxgDXFJ…

My four year-old has two piggy banks (both gifts). She fills them with stickers, plastic Pepper Pig gems and paper fruit (“to make smoothies”). She never sees us use coins and when she plays shops she gives us a card to pay.
I think one of the issues with financial education is that we’re taught about savings in terms of coin banks, and not in terms of the literal tens of thousands of digital pounds needed for most things.

'The glamour of being an author is dangerous because publishers use it as a reason to underpay us.' @maggiegeewriter on being a writer. If you're struggling to make ends meet, or you know another professional author who is, please get in touch with us. [email protected]
"the whole inverted triangle of the business, those who take 90% of the earnings, rests on the head of the author with her meagre 10% cut. It’s a power we have to remind each other we possess." @maggiegeewriter's words will inspire authors everywhere: ow.ly/yndj50FzCox
